Private student accommodation near LSE

As early as possible. Apartments within walking distance of LSE are often booked first before the academic year starts, so booking early gives you the widest choice of buildings and apartment types. Many students enquire as soon as they receive their offer. You can secure an apartment with an initial payment equivalent to 1–4 weeks’ rent.

A serviced student apartment is a fully furnished private apartment with hotel-style services. It includes a fully equipped kitchen, utensils and a private bathroom, so you can settle in and start your term straight away.

All utilities are set up and included in the rent, so there are no bills to arrange. Weekly cleaning is included (the frequency can vary by property and is confirmed when you book), and a dedicated maintenance team looks after all appliances and facilities. Maintenance staff may occasionally need access to service them.

There are no lengthy application forms, references or guarantor forms, and in most cases, no tenancy agreement is required. Our aim is to make booking straightforward, with comfort, flexibility and service throughout your stay.

Yes. Our minimum stay is 21 nights, subject to availability. You can book for a single term, a full academic year, summer school or a short course. Longer stays may qualify for better rates.

Each apartment has a maximum occupancy set by council regulations and safety requirements. Requests for extra guests or extra bedding are subject to approval and availability.

Sometimes an apartment can be held for a short time before you confirm, depending on availability and the property’s policy. Apartments near campus go quickly before the start of the academic year, so the sooner you confirm, the better. Your Sales & Reservations Consultant can check this for you.

1. Fill in the enquiry form, or contact us through any of our channels, and tell us what you’re looking for.
2. Choose your apartment. We can arrange an in-person viewing or a video call to help you decide.
3. Secure your apartment with the initial payment.
4. Complete your payment. After the initial payment, you’ll receive an invoice for the balance of your first instalment, usually due within 5 days. If your check-in date is very close, the full first instalment is due with the initial payment. Any security deposit is due at the same time as the first instalment.
5. Provide all guest details, including contact information and ID, so we can communicate with you smoothly.
6. Receive your booking confirmation by email once the first instalment has been paid.
7. Receive your check-in instructions 24–72 hours before arrival, move in and enjoy your stay.

The whole booking process is explained on its own page.

The initial payment secures your booking. It’s between 1 and 4 weeks’ rent and counts towards the total cost of your stay. It is not a refundable security deposit.

No. All bookings must be paid in advance of check-in.

Extra requests may have a fee, such as additional cleaning, extra bedding, a pet-friendly apartment, early check-in or late check-out. These are subject to availability and vary by property.

Some apartments are pet-friendly and may allow cats or dogs (size dependent). Let your Sales & Reservations Consultant know in advance so they can find the best options for you. A pet fee may apply.

If you decide to get a pet after your stay has started, let us know as soon as possible. The property team must be told in advance, and we’ll confirm any pet fee or deposit.

You can choose your apartment type (studio, one-, two- or three-bedroom) in a specific building. Apartment numbers are normally allocated closer to arrival, so we can’t guarantee a specific floor, unit or layout in advance. In some smaller buildings this may be possible, and your Sales & Reservations Consultant will confirm.

Some properties offer disability access, but this varies by building and apartment. Tell your Sales & Reservations Consultant what you need, and they’ll confirm availability and recommend the most suitable options.

Each apartment has a maximum occupancy based on the number of beds. For safety reasons, folding beds and inflatable mattresses are not permitted.

Some apartments have sofa beds, which may come at an extra cost. Please check with your Sales & Reservations Consultant.

You can ask the Property Team. Code changes need the operations team’s approval and may not be possible with every access system. Codes are refreshed from time to time for security, and you’ll be told if yours changes.

Please don’t share access codes with delivery drivers, visitors or anyone not staying in the apartment.

Contact your Sales & Reservations Consultant. They’ll discuss your request, explain any cancellation terms and check which other apartments are available.

If your building has a reception, you can usually send parcels, such as textbooks and online orders, to the property address, and reception may store them for you. If you plan to send parcels before you arrive, tell us in advance so we can let the property team know.

If there’s no reception, we recommend ordering deliveries only after you’ve moved in. There may be no secure place to leave parcels at the entrance, so use a nearby Amazon Locker or Post Office collection point if you might be out.

Yes, friends can visit, and you’re responsible for their behaviour in the building. Overnight guests must stay within the apartment’s maximum occupancy; for example, a two-bedroom apartment usually allows up to four people overnight.
